Simple, excellent design, 30 May 2018

This will not be permanently in situ, as our children are long since grown, but we often have grandchildren in the car, so this will prove very useful indeed to keep an eye on them when they are out of sight without having to turn round in your seat.

It fixes well to the windscreen with small suction pads. We put it alongside the rear view mirror, and it gave us perfect vision to make sure all was OK with our back seat passengers. We have not tried it with the youngest ones yet, but we proved it worked when keeping tabs on an older grandchild – we caught her making faces when told to turn her music down….

It’s dual-purpose in the sense that you can also place it on the back windscreen to you can keep an eye on rear-facing children.

The pack also includes a clip which allows you to attach the mirror to a visor, if having another mirror near the car’s rear view mirror distracts you, or if you would prefer to have your passenger keeping an eye on...

BRICA Dual Sight Baby Car Mirror., 30 May 2018

This mirror is a useful addition to one's car whether one has a child or not.

I`ve had a second mirror in the car for years for the benefit of my passengers, as it provides an extra pair of eyes on the traffic (many cars also have a vanity mirror fitted behind the sun visor).

This unit has the flexibility of two different types of attachment, a rubber suction pad mounting or a clip fitting for the sun visor – which is the one I`ve opted for. My reason for using the clip is that on hot days suction pads can dry out resulting in the grip failing and the mirror detaching; this unit has two suction pads on a spring mount; whether that is an improvement over a single suction pad (which my past mirrors have employed) remains to be seen.

Its a well-enough made unit, lightweight and apparently shatter-proof; my one serious criticism is of the ball and socket pivot joint which is made of hard plastic – this may be lighter, but is a good deal weaker than the steel pivots other...

Overcomes a problem, 30 May 2018

As much as it is for the adult to see the child, I feel it works just as well for the child to see the adult.I prefer not to have to be using when I am driving but as we usually go out in pairs (retired grandparents) I pass the responsibility to my wife. I am concerned that it can be a distraction for the driver and it's not advisable to use when the car is moving.Remember to remove when the vehicle goes in for its MOT or it could fail for obstructed vision.Use the suction to fit to the rear window when the babyseat is rear facing but think, before purchasing, whether your vehicle has an inappropriate window (e.g. not an Estate or SUV) where the glass is much further back than the seat.When used for forward facing seats, try to clip to visor rather than stick to screen as it can block views of road signs and lights.I.E. use wisely and safely
